I see two problems with that. But let me first describe the current
/proc/user_beancounters. This is how it looks like from inside a container:

# cat /proc/user_beancounters
Version: 2.5
uid resource held maxheld barrier limit failcnt
123: kmemsize 836919 1005343 2752512 2936012 0
lockedpages 0 0 32 32 0
privvmpages 4587 7289 49152 53575 0
............(more lines like that).........................................

I.e. a container owner can take a glance over the current parameters,
their usage and (the thing that is really important) fail counters. Fail
counter increases each time a parameter hits the limit. This is very
straightforward way for container's owner to see if everything is OK or not.

So, the problems with /sys are:

(1) Gettng such info from 40+ files requires at least some script, while
now cat is just fine.

(2) Do we want to virtualize sysfs and enable /sys for every container?
Note that user_beancounters statistics is really needed for container's
owner to see. At the same time, container's owner should not be able to
modify it -- so we should end up with read/write ubc entries for the
host system and read-only ones for the container.

Taking into account those two issues, current /proc/user_beancounters
might be not that bad.
